[Test-Equipment] Looking for test bench ideas

[Bob Parnass, AJ9S]

Here are 2 PDF files showing how I constructed an electronics test bench 
and a ham/shortwave radio equipment station.  They have been in use for over 
15 years:

and
<http://www.parnass.com/images/test-eq-shelves.pdf>

Both employ adjustable steel shelving I bought surplus.   Each setup uses 
a pair of 2-draw file cabinets to support a work surface.

One setup uses a solid wood door as a work surface which steel shelving on 
top.  I bought the door at discount from a Menards home center store because 
it had a scratch.  The shelving supports a lot of heavy test equipment.

The other setup, named eq-shelves.pdf, shows a self-supporting array of 
adjustable steel shelving which stands on the floor, with a narrow homebrew 
work surface in front of them.  Though the drawing shows 2 sets of shelving 
bolted together, I actually added a 3rd set of shelves to the lineup.  I 
built the work surface by nailing hardboard to a couple of pine planks and 
nailing trim around front and 2 sides.

Hope this gives you some ideas.
